From Reinvigorate
Name Tags are an easy way to identify exactly who your visitors are. It works by associating information your site manages (username, e-mail, account ID, etc..) with the session ID Reinvigorate uses to track visitors on your site/blog.

Reinvigorate tracking code usually looks like this..

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://include.reinvigorate.net/re_.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
try {
reinvigorate.track("xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx");
} catch(err) {}
// ]]></script>

where xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx is the site id.

In order to track XenForo with NameTags, use the following code..

<script type="text/javascript" src="http://include.reinvigorate.net/re_.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">// <![CDATA[
try {
var re_name_tag = "{$visitor.username}";
reinvigorate.track("xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx");
} catch(err) {}
// ]]></script>

only replacing “xxxxx-xxxxxxxxxx” with the actual Reinvigorate site id. Make sure the code

var re_name_tag = "{$visitor.username}";

appears above the “reinvigorate.track” function..

That’s it! You should start seeing stats of NameTagged Visitors immediately.

Good Luck!!

There’s a very easy way to fix that issue.

Just delete the file

\app\etc\local.xml

and you’re set to restart the installation.

It’s that simple folks!!!

What it really means:

Programmers often spend hours reading papers on normalization without really understanding what the need is. At its very basic form normalization ensures that each nugget of data or fact is stored in exactly one place. So now when you need that data, you know where exactly to look for it. Now lets look at the other side of the coin. You have the same data stored in lets say 3 to 4 locations. Firstly you have increased redundancy. Now this in itself is not such a bad thing. If you end up increasing the overall speed of the application while maintaining its consistency, you have won the battle! But its this second part that becomes tricky and is usually responsible for panic-stricken calls by a client, usually when you are getting ready to call it a day.

When facts are repeated in the database, the application programmer has an added responsibility to make sure they are all consistent. Failure to meet this requirement will lead to an inconsistent database and erratic application behavior. Once the programmer understands this very simple goal, each rule for normalizing suddenly makes more sense, and the application programmer has his ‘Eureka’ moment!

While dealing with a non-normalised database, a programmer is likely to run into some anomalies and inconsistencies (a euphemism for saying that the database holds inaccurate data). Lets then spell out what these anomalies and inconsistencies are and how they affect the application.

Case: A newbie programmer who has had a more than healthy dose of logs stating how relational databases are the worst possible kind of curse and hence have not tried to even understand the concept.
Consider a simple (actually very very simple) e-commerce application. A programmer creates a simple table called employees. This table lists the employees of the company along with their employee no. and the customers the employee handles. Now one fine day the employee id of a particular employee is changed. This will give rise to 3 irregularities.

Update irregularity:
If a user goes to this employee-customer table and changes an employee’s id on only one row, and no provision is made to change the others, then the database now has inconsistent values for the employee’s email. This irregularity occurs when a fact is stored in multiple locations and a user is able to change one without changing them all.

Insert irregularity:
This occurs when it is not actually possible to record a fact. A new employee not assigned to any customers will not be recorded by the system at all!

Delete irregularity:
This occurs when deletion of one fact eliminates some other fact. If an employee is absent causing a removal of his assignments, then we will have lost his employee-id in the process!

Thus a non-normalized database will require additional care by the programmed to ensure that these issues are fixed. This situation gets worse and worse as the program get more and more complicated. This leads to more and more complaints and you will spend all your time making amends for it. And you can’t make progress with a program when you are busy all day fixings bugs and pacifying irate customers.

Following is a list of frequently used/required DOS commands:

ping – Communicate with another computer
Tell you if the other computer is responding to your handshake request. It thus tells you about the health of your connection and also resolves issues with your connection. It also helps in determining the TCP/IP Networks IP address and be used to convert the web address to a physical IP address.

ipconfig – Troubleshooting your internet connection.
Displays all current TCP/IP network configuration values and the DNS server address. It also refreshes the Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) and Domain Name System (DNS) settings. It displays the IP address, default gateways and subnet mask for all adapters.

fc
FC is an advanced DOS Command that compares two files and displays the differences between them.

type – Display content of text files.
Type is a DOS command for displaying the contents of a text files with limited on screen formatting. When used in combination with more switch, type splits the contents of lengthy text files into multiple pages. Wild card characters (* and ?) cannot be used with this command.
Syntax:
TYPE [d:][path]filename
e.g.: type c:myname.txt
This opens the file myname.txt of the ‘C’ drive.

tree – Easy to read listing of files and folders
If you need to see the physical directory structure there exists no simple visual command. You can then run the DOS tree command and place the output to a text file for simple viewing. The tree command thus allows the user to view a listing of files and folders in an easy to read listing.

Syntax:
TREE Drive:\ Path /f /a
tree > listing.txt
print listing.txt

Simple example of a listing:
C:.
├───Common
├───Director
├───Flash
├───Shockwave 8
│ ├───DswMedia
│ ├───Prefs
│ └───Xtras
└───update

attrib – make hidden files visible
Attrib lets you change properties of a specified System file and even hidden files. It is capable of changing the file to have any of the following attributes.

Read-only – allowing the file to be only viewed and not written to.
Archived – allowing Microsoft backup and other backup programs to know what files to backup.
Hidden – making the file invisible to standard users.
System – making the file an important system file.
A great troubleshooting command. Use attrib to remove the Hidden attribute of the startup boot.ini file (Hidden) and edit the file using EDIT dos command.
Syntax:
ATTRIB -R | +R | -S | +S | -H | +H | -C | +C filename
assoc – which program will open that .xyz file
The assoc command displays the file association for each of the different file extensions on the computer. It can be used to either display or even modify the file name extension associations. The command assoc .html will show you the name of your default web browser

move – The easier way to move files
Allows you to move files and folders form one drive or directory to another. It allows you to avoid the hassle of manually selecting each file and moving.
Syntax:
move *2009.doc c:\2009Archive\
This will move all files with names ending with 2009 to the 2009Archive folder in C drive without manually having to select each file.

find – advanced file search with filter
Helps you find a search string within a file. If you need to find a particular file, use DIR command. It is more useful than the Windows Desktop Search tool or the Windows Find Wizard. The find command searches for a specific string of text in a file or files. After searching the specified file or files, find displays any lines of text that contain the specified string. While MS-DOS itself is not case sensitive, the FIND command is.

Syntax:
FIND [/V] [/C] [/N] [/I] “string” [[drive:][path]filename[ ...]]

Other Commonly Used commands:

CHDIR – Displays the name of or changes the current directory.
CHKDSK – Checks a disk and displays a status report.
CLS – Clears the screen.

We’ve tried to list out some of the best, If we’ve missed any, kindly send us an email at blog[at]meetc3.com or post it in the comments.

The error usually looks like this -

Fatal error: Call to a member function toHtml() on a non-object in \app\code\core\Mage\Core\Model\Layout.php on line 529

Navigate to
\app\design\frontend\default\themename\layout\page.xml

Find

<block type="core/profiler" output="toHtml"/>

Replace with

<block type="core/profiler" output="toHtml" name="core_profiler"/>

That’s it. The error should go away, and you should be back looking at the frontend of your Magento Store.
